Well, Borasha zigged when she shoulda zagged, and now she's dead in Embershard. She had it going pretty well, was just about to make level 5, and had killed all but two of the bandits. But two were two too many, taken together, and I misjudged on hitting the potion hotkey.

So...

RIP Borasha

Next Up:

Player: Glargg

Character: Lulu

Race: Breton

six: Female

Difficulty: Master

I'm setting this character to Master, on the basis that I seem to recall that we're allowing a reduction of one level of difficulty for each level of "zombie-hood." If that's not correct, somebody tell me, and I'll restart her at legendary.

Glargg.....AND ALL........um um um.......okey dokey. I'll amend the rule sheet so we're operating as per last round......meaning score multipliers for difficulties and a VOLUNTARY difficulty level drop at each restart. But.....anyone who wishes to restart at Legendary can do so to benefit from the score multiplier if they choose.

Ok People ? .?

Anyone not happy....just say and we'll discuss it....but as we are underway it must be quick and not disadvantage existing players ok!

I've stuck with legendary so far since I hadn't even made it out of Helgen alive when my first demises occured. If I die again I'll voluntarily lower to Master, but I'm hoping that won't be necessary. If I can clear the bandits for the Jarl of Falkreath I can build my homestead and make it out to Riften, then if I can get in good with the Thieves Guild I'll have a regular job to give me loads of quest-filled point-scoring goodness along with whatever miscellaneous stuff I pick up on the side along the way. If I can keep the money coming in and catch a few breaks for some good gear I could conceivably have a great run

Edit: RIP Spritely III. Misplaced my follower, and fell to a fire user near Whiterun. A quick, if painful, death.

Moving down to Master difficulty...

I'm much more comfortable at Master. And also at playing sneaky characters, rather than a big armor-clanking Orc or Nord.

Lulu sprayed the last of the bandits with fire, while her wolf familiar Lucky chewed on him from behind. He fell with a clatter of armor and greatsword, and lay still. Embershard Mine fell quiet, but for the sound of running water. It was over, and the bandits were all dead.

For a brief moment, Lulu thought she saw a ghostly female orc, clad in steel, saluting with a massive warhammer, but then the apparition faded. Some lost soul who had died here recently, perhaps.

On searching the mine, Lulu found that the bandits had amassed a fair amount of treasure. There were several precious stones, quite a pile of gold septims, and several enchanted items. Now she would be able to afford some real spells, perhaps even a fire atronach. She looked at Lucky, and sighed. She had had him since she was a girl. There was a time when she had considered the ghost wolf a strong and able companion. The past couple of days had opened her eyes to the truth: Lulu was in a very dangerous place, and she was very weak, and Lucky could no longer be trusted to protect her. Lucky let out a howl, as if he could hear her thoughts, and he vanished back to Oblivion in a crackle of sparks.

Lulu filled a bag with the best of the loot, and left the mine into the deepening night. Tomorrow she would sell it all to the local merchant, and set out for Whiterun.

I don't think we ever settled on that. The point of this round was to make it a Legendary marathon. But we could certainly have a winner for each "weight class" to keep it interesting. Maybe those go until the Legendary competition ends? Some of the lighter difficulties could go on a long time.

Lost my first character before i could even update here! She was known as Marth the zombie ( i had no idea about the rules, pure coincidence ) and was an orc. Killed by a chief in a single blow.

Next to the chopping block!
